Symantec Endpoint Protection will not install

Pergunta

I have been attempting to install the corporate edition of Symantec Endpoint Protection and keep getting the message it was interupted and it wont install. I have used the troubleshooter and rolled to Vista but it still will not install. It starts and the it rolls itself back and says try to repeat instalation. This version is for windows Vista, both the 32 bit and 64 bit system. Any help would be appreciated.

I have tried both the service pack 1 and 2 vista as well as vista and it continues to say it was interupted during the install process. This is version 11.0.1 symantenc enpoint for home use. This program will install on an untouched service pack 1 of vista as it has been installed on another computer with this system, just windows 7 it will not install. Something seems to be interuping the install process.

I have experienced the same issue with Symantec Endpoint, the only workaround I have found that is successfull is to install it on Windows Vista and do an upgrade installation of Windows 7. Im not sure of the specifics to how this works but it does. Hope this helps.-Scott

I had the same of installing SEP 11.0.5 corporate edition. As mentioned by you, I installed LUSETUP.EXE first and then ran the SETUP.EXE. It worked fine this time. I did not even boot in between. Thank you very much for your instructions.

The PendingFileRenameOperations registry value can
be backed up and deleted. Symantec Endpoint Protection can then be installed, and the PendingFileRenameOperations value replaced in order to facilitate installing Symantec Endpoint Protection without affecting the operating system or 3rd party applications
negatively. This method will leave several temporary installation files in the logged in user's temp directory that would normally be deleted after a reboot.

Open the Windows Registry editor (regedit.exe) browse to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager

Verify the following Reg Multi String value PendingFileRenameOperations exists under this key.Note: If you do not find the PendingFileRenameOperations value in the location above, this error message can be generated if there are pending changes in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSetXXX\Control\SessionManager\PendingFileRenameOperations

Right-click on the SessionManager registry key that contains the PendingFileRenameOperations value and choose
Export

Provide a file name and location for the exported registry key and click
Save

Delete the PendingFileRenameOperations value from the registry

If HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\RebootRequired exists, right-click on the RebootRequired
registry key and choose Export.

Provide a different file name than in step 4 for the exported registry key and click
Save

Delete RebootRequired sub-key

Install Symantec Endpoint Protection normally

Before rebooting, double-click on the .reg files created in Step 4 and 7 to merge the previous PendingFileRenameOperations value and RebootRequired
sub-key.

Those Registry edits Did NOT Work!!!! Same Error. I merged them back, or guess I should say I tried.... to merge them back....second one wouldnt...Died of an error, Rebooted went back to check, old entries are gone.... Hope this dosen't cause other
issues down the road....

Why is Symantec and why have they always been such problem children?? I have been doing this for years.....
